Am I Getting Enough Genuine Sleep To Guarantee My Mental Health?

February 20, 2021 by Depression Is Not My Boss Leave a Comment

Am I getting enough sleep to impact my mental health

My first thought is to ask how you define “getting enough sleep.” Now I can say I am in bed for 8 hours almost every night, sometimes a little longer. But I am not sure that qualifies as sleep. Most of my nights are a series of short naps followed by short times awake.

What You See May Not Be What You Get

August 13, 2020 by Depression Is Not My Boss Leave a Comment

What you see with depression is not what you always get

I see eyes and a mouth ready to eat me if I get too close. That’s what I see as I sit in my therapist’s office waiting for my appointment. Maybe I watched too many cartoons as a child.

I Don’t Like Where This Is Headed

Is depression sending me to the abyss with only Wellbutrin and no Prozac?

It has now been six days since I stopped taking Prozac. I know that Wellbutrin XL has had 30 days to establish itself in my system. And I am aware that Prozac builds up in the body and that based on the ½ life of my 20 mg dosage, some Prozac is still coursing through my veins. From a scientific perspective, it all makes sense. But what about me? My reality is that I am … [Read more...] about I Don’t Like Where This Is Headed
